SAW-TABLE GAG E.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 425,297, dated April 8, 1890.

Application filed April 8, 1889. Serial No. 306,491. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALPHEUS CAPRON, of Winchester, in the county of Cheshire and State of New Hampshire, have invented a new and useful Saw-Table Gage; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full and exact descriptionthereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in pro viding for the adjustment of the faceplate by means of a bolt with the head rounded on the inside, fitted in a socketin the face-plate, so that the faceplate can be moved, as oocasion may require, by means of the four thumb-screws. The same is attached to the table of the saw-bench by means of a T- shaped tongue extending from the center of the face-plate with a groove made and attached to the bottom of saw-guide, so as to allow of the guides being moved nearer to or farther from the saw, as necessity may require.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my im proved device. Fig. 2 is a central vertical cross-section of the same.

A represents the face-plate; B, the back plate or guide; (I, the center bolt with head rounded on the inside, fitting into a socketin face-plate A, so as to let face-plate A be changed in position. B may be so made as to take the place of any other guide.

1) is a thumbscrew to hold the guide in potance from the saw.

E E E E are thumb-screws, to be used when it is desired to change the position of faceplate A so as to saw the material of a uniform thickness or to saw it beveling.

What I claim as new is- 1. In asaw-table gage, the combination, with a saw'table, the faceplate, and the back plate, of the horizontal central bolt C, having a rounded head fitting a corresponding cavity in the face-plate and passed through the back plate and provided with a thumb-nut, and means for supporting and adjusting the faceplate, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. In a saw-table gage, the combination, with a saw-table, the face-plate, and the back plate, of the horizontal central bolt C, having a rounded head seated in a corresponding cavity in the face-plate and passed through the back plate and provided with a thumb-nut, and the thumb-screws E, passed through the back plate-one near each upper corner of the back plate, and one above and one below the central bolt-and bearing against the rear side of the face-plate, substantially as shown and described, and for the purpose specified.
